...rock on which Gen. Ayub might flounder is Kashmir. Carrying on in the glorious traditions of his predecessors of the last eleven years, he has threatened to wage a war with India over Kashmir. If the Pakistanis who invaded Kashmir in 1948 had not done so, and had not shown their true colors by looting, plundering, and raping Hindus and Muslims alike, they would have some ground to stand on today. It is not surprising that in two elections the People of Kashmir have shown their determination to stay as an integral part of India. If the Indian leaders, like...
...U.S.A. and many other developed countries. Karachi is an over-crowded city because, apart from the fact that it was chosen as the seat of central government on securing independence, it has received and is still receiving a large influx of refugees from India. As regards the Kashmir issue, Mr. Beecher, who would not have President Mohammed Ayub Khan "intransigent," himself appears to support the intransigence of those who have successfully resisted the various efforts made by the United Nations to hold a free and impartial plebiscite in order to ascertain the wishes of the Kashmiri people whether they would...

Clutching his neck in both hands, he added: "If someone is doing this to you, what would you do? Lie back...
Pakistan's quarrels with India have been so virulent that outsiders have had to intervene-the U.N. to separate the armies in Kashmir, the International Bank to arbitrate rights to the Indus River waters. This summer, trouble flared along East Pakistan's ill-marked borders, and once again Pakistan's Moslem Leaguers whooped it up for holy war. Customarily, any politician who talks on India in conciliatory tones risks political suicide. But Feroz Khan Noon, the tall, Oxford-educated aristocrat who became Pakistan's seventh Prime Minister last winter, decided that such irresponsible fire-breathing...
